Oven Fried Feta Rolls with Chili Honey

These rolls use feta cheese wrapped in phyllo dough and baked in the oven to achieve a crisp texture similar to frying. They are served with a simple chili-infused honey drizzle.

Ingredients
  

For the Feta Rolls
  • 8 ounces Feta cheese Block style, drained
  • 8 Phyllo dough sheets Thawed
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Melted
For the Chili Honey
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes Adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the block of feta cheese into 8 equal rectangles.
  3. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough flat. Brush the surface lightly with melted butter.
  4. Place one piece of feta cheese near one end of the phyllo sheet. Fold the sides of the dough over the cheese, then roll it up tightly, like a spring roll. Brush the outside seam with butter to seal.
  5. Repeat this process with the remaining feta and phyllo sheets. Place the finished rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops of all the rolls again with any remaining melted butter.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  8. While the rolls bake, prepare the chili honey by stirring the red pepper flakes into the honey in a small bowl.
  9. Serve the warm feta rolls immediately with the chili honey for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

If you do not have block feta, you can crumble the feta and mix it with an egg yolk to help it adhere before wrapping in the phyllo. This mixture may require slightly longer baking time.
